In the future, the American government establishes the Dept. of Reproductive Management to evaluate and approve a citizen’s right to have children. Any family created without a government permit is declared illegal and is mercilessly hunted, arrested, and often, killed. Their illegal children are sent to reeducation centers where department-approved classes can ensure their distorted views are not passed on.For 16-year-old Maggie Ward, growing up in one of these centers is all she’s ever known. But after learning her brother is secretly being trained as a Remo – government agent that violently breaks up illegal families – she concocts a plan to escape.With the help of a tech-savvy illegal, they locate the Resistance and finally learn their parents’ identities. The truth is more disturbing than they could have imagined. Dark government conspiracies, unstable Resistance members, and a dangerous cross-country journey collide as Maggie races to keep the secrets of her past from destroying her future.
